    • The Truth About Credit (e.g., how to establish credit and use debt responsibly)

    • Student Loans: Handle with CARE (e.g., the basics of financing higher education)

    • Brush Up on Budgeting (e.g., personal budgeting and finance skills)

    • The Road to Financial Independence (e.g., an overview of issues in establishing and using credit; a compilation of the other three presentations)
